Ingredients

- 1 cup Sugar
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Raisins
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, 1/2 cup of melted butter, and 1 egg. Mix until a soft dough forms.
Step 3
Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust.
Step 4
Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly while preparing the filling.
Step 5
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the sour cream, sugar, flour, remaining 2 eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 6
Stir in the raisins until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Step 7
Pour the sour cream-raisin mixture over the partially baked crust and spread it out evenly.
Step 8
Bake for an additional 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and lightly golden around the edges.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
Step 10
Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
